i can roll quarters down my fingers continuously because I saw Val kilmer do it in Real Genius and I wanted to be cool like him.

Ha, I saw Val Kilmer do it in Tombstone and always wanted to do it, but never followed through.

he does it in tombstone?

i must have completely forgotten about that.

haha he definitely must have told them that he could do it from practicing on set at Real Genius and they should let him do it in tombstone too, that's hilarious haha.

Yep, when he's playing cards here. I didn't realize he'd done it in other movies. I'd look for excuses, too.
